IMPORTANT: ONLY 48 HOURS LEFT OF EARLY BIRD!!!
GET YOUR SEAT NOW AT FITPOSIUM.COM

Let’s be brutally honest – pursuing what you love and chasing after your dreams can be scary AF!

I know this because I’ve had to go through it myself. I was unsure of what was the right step to take and feared losing everything if I made a single mistake.

It is the exact same fear and uncertainty I see in my clients and the readers of this blog.
WHAT IF THEY DOESN’T WORK???
WHAT IF I FAIL?

That is why I created this blog. That is why I created my podcast. That is why I created my e-books.

THAT IS WHY I CREATED FITPOSIUM!!!

I wanted to have a community of passionate people coming together to share best practices, support one another as a tribe and collectively push to higher levels. And we did just that. Every year since 2015 we have SOLD OUT this conference which reinforced that we are doing the right thing.

Individuals come to FITposium with an idea and leave with an action plan on how to grow a career they love. Every single year at the event people will come up to me to tell me what has happened to their businesses and lives since the last event.

People left careers they hated to launch businesses they loved
People doubled their income
People got the cover of every major fitness publication
People who are now the breadwinner in their family
People who are now showing their kids what happens when you TRY!

You are receiving this because you DESERVE this same opportunity for the pursuit of success.

You are receiving this because you ARE PART OF OUR TRIBE!

You are receiving this because you are the person who is willing to TAKE ACTION and CRUSH FEAR!

How to Know Someone is Serious

Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs

Leading up to and at FITposium 2018 I had countless people come up to me with questions on what could be the next steps in their journey.

After listening to their query I would give them both a short and long term strategy for what their next steps should be. Usually the short term action required that they followed up with me to let me know what they had discovered, done, taken action on.

Perhaps it was as simple as listen to this podcast and let me know your top take-aways… or research 3 photographers and get back to me with the name of the person who stood out to you the most.

Now here is where it gets interesting.

Imagine the number of people who dismissed my advice as if it was not serious enough to actually help them. In reality; it was a test. And we are paying attention.

The people who got back to us with their report to let us know what they did and discovered are the ones we know to invest our time and energy into. They are the ones who have proved they are serious.

The others, by dismissing the casual advice, really just indicated that they were not interested in doing the work themselves.

Consider how often you receive small solicited advice. Are you following it?

Those SMALL actions leave BIG impacts.
